This week is all about shadows, for the most part. Photo processing was done using Distressed FX with the same two lights/textures on my iPad Pro. We had some unexpected rain on Monday morning, along with my amaryllis about to give birth, and the opening on Friday…so that is the exception to the shadows. With that said, on with my week…
Sunday
I went for a much needed walk at Moorpark College, I did over 2 miles and went up and down many stairs. It sure felt good to be moving and sweating…and taking photos of flowers with my Fuji/Rokinon macro lens combo. Afterwards I did a Costco run, got my water bottles filled up, and picked up some yummy Thai food for a late lunch.
Monday
I spent the day cleaning, well…half a day at least. Went to pick up my weekly dose of Ma Po Tofu and some Steamed fish in black bean sauce for my partner. Played around on my computer in the afternoon – working on “vectorizing” my Memoji in Affinity Designer.
Tuesday
Spent a good part of the morning, into the early afternoon pulling weeds in the front yard (closed both my exercise [30 min.] and move [520 calories] rings for the day). Eventually I’ll be planting flowers there. Spent the rest of the day paying bills and continuing work on “vectorizing” my Memoji.
Wednesday
Spent the day pretty much outside, soaking up some natural Vitamin D, weed whacking the front and back yards, trimming the tree in front, and pulling weeds in the corner. I got a 200% award on my Apple Watch for my Move ring.
Thursday
The mask I ordered from an Etsy seller in Hawaii finally showed up today, it was 2 days late, but not in enough time for me to wash it and it to dry before I met up with my dad to give him some toilet paper that I picked up for him. It was another beautiful day for a picnic lunch at opposite sides and ends of a picnic table.
Friday
Laid low, still trying to recuperate from overdoing it on Wednesday. Started working on more templates for digital greeting cards based on real world card folds.
Saturday (today)
I laid low today. Muscles are still sore, but bearable. Pollen is starting to pop out in the 2 open Amaryllis flowers.
Well…that’s all for this week. Thank you very much for visiting. Stay safe and healthy.
Imaginarium Fantastical 
Wonderful images, the plants have an almost ethereal quality, the way the images have been processed.

Thank so much for you comment. I really liked the way the amaryllis came out after processing.

Compliments. It takes a very keen eye to spot shadows. I confess I don’t “see” shadows as much as I should. (Mental note: do more shadows)
Cheers

Thank you. I actually find myself drawn to light and shadows, especially on buildings, and when needed…I’ll create my own. Good luck on your journey to do more shadows. I look forward to seeing them on your blog.

Don’t hold your breath. (LOL) I forget shadows many times. And we’re not going out much lately. But I will keep shadows in mind. Cheers.

Whew! I’m glad you told me not to hold my breath…I can breathe again (LOL) You don’t necessarily need to go out to get pictures of shadows. I’ve been known to take them in the house when the lighting is right. Take care and stay safe.

You are very right. But where I live (Tlalpan in Mexico city, the way the streets are organized, in a grid pattern, the colours of the houses (colonial) and the way the sun moves during the day makes completely different pictures depending on the hour. And since the light is very bright, it makes for good shadows…

Amazing images, “Bustin’ Loose” is my favourite from this selection.

While I too like “Bustin’ Loose”, my favorite was “Stained Shadows”; I think it’s because it has an Art Deco feel to the shadow shapes…plus the 2 filters/textures I used.
